Escaping the London rat race
Tuesday 6th May 2008, 11:00AM BST.
When London business couple Grant and Sandy Williams came up to visit friends in Shropshire for the first time in 1991, the change of scenery appealed to them so strongly that they immediately upped sticks to move here.
They were living a very stressful life in London, running a property company in and around Tower Bridge.
Grant said: “We had benefited from the boom but suddenly it all went very sour.
“We had bought a few new builds to start a buy-to-let portfolio and we had developed some offices and a couple of residential properties as well.”
